Castillo: We must detect junk propaganda and infamy against Venezuela

Transnational media companies are carrying out a campaign related to fake news, whose purpose is for foreign agents to gain control of Venezuela together with extreme right-wing groups that “have lent themselves to the game of sanctions and to call for invasion of the country,” warned the Deputy Minister of Anti-Blockade Policies, William Castillo.

During an interview on the program A Pulso broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), Castillo indicated that they are trying to set up matrices of opinion in which they assert that the revolutionary forces “are surrendering themselves, leaving themselves to be supervised by the United States or there is some kind of secret agreement.”

However, he dismissed such arguments, because in more than 20 years of revolution, “who can think that's the case?” However, he said that social networks live a time framed in “infamy” because there is no news, but that there is a 24-hour bombardment of political propaganda and, in that sense, he said that we must “detect when it is junk propaganda or infamy”.

The Deputy Minister of Anti-Blockade Policies asserted that an attempt is being made to criminalize the Bolivarian Government and the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, to fish in a troubled river of politics where opponents appear who are now representatives of the nation.

Finally, he stressed that the country requires unity and that the “phariseism and hypocritical attitude” of wanting to appear before the media as anti-imperialist and democratic subjects must be left behind.
